Apparently someone in the White House was threatening Bob Woodward for telling a story the way he saw it.
Of course, Bob was very gracious to our messiah, saying that he was sure that Obama would not have approved.
Originally posted by whodeyIf Woodward doesn't get the same degree of access to people at the White House as he has been used to, being the celebrity/journalist, he will regret it. It's undoubtedly true. This "threat" sounds like a turn of phrase used in a discussion in which there was a difference of opinion as to Woodward's analysis. It sounds to me like Woodward is trying to create a I-said-he-said story about himself rather than just telling the [far more important] political story as he saw it. Coming off as a miffed, self-important hack who licked his wounds in public is something he may have even more cause to regret, when all is said and done, than falling out with his erstwhile cozy contacts at the White House.

Originally posted by boononThere are people at freerepublic.com who claim that Obama has had several prominent journalists killed, including Andrew Breitbart, and that Bob Woodward is probably now going to meet the same fate.

Originally posted by FMFWow. I never heard that about Breitbart. It's a pretty scary thought about what goes on at a governmental level that is not meant for public eyes.

Originally posted by boononBreitbart is just the tip of the iceberg perhaps. There may have been dozens of prominent journalists that have been assassinated or targeted for assassination [like talk-radio host Michael Savage, who narrowly escaped] on direct orders but other journalists are unwilling to report on it either because they are afraid or because they are Obama supporters.
